//Get the data to encode in barcode
String message = "A_" + "TESTTHIS" + "?" + "AGAIN" ;


BarCode bc=new BarCode();

// set the data to encode
bc.code=message;


bc.rotate = 0;
bc.barType = bc.CODE39;
bc.checkCharacter = false;
bc.processTilde = true;

// create the file as the name of the message
barCodeEncoder bce;
bce = new barCodeEncoder(bc, "JPEG", "T:appbarcodeBC39test.jpeg");
System.exit(0);

Best Answer

To encode Extended characters for Code 39, use Code 39 Extended :


bc.barType = bc.CODE39EXT;



CODE39EXT

public static final int CODE39EXT

NOTE:
You must also set the scanner to Full ASCII or Extended Code 39
